A cohort study may be a prospective study, but a prospective study is not necessarily a cohort study: a cohort study involves a methodology, i.e. comparison, that is not necessarily common to all prospective studies. The qualifier “prospective,” without further details, indicates only the study’s temporal direction. 3, record 1, English, - prospective%20study

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Une étude de cohorte peut être une étude prospective, mais une étude prospective n’est pas nécessairement une étude de cohorte : en effet, l’étude de cohorte comporte une méthodologie – la comparaison – qui n’est pas forcément commune à toutes les études prospectives; le qualificatif «prospective», sans précisions complémentaires, indique uniquement l’orientation temporelle de l’étude. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tude%20prospective
